Real Life~Real Answers


Hope in God's Word
Evelyn has had a difficult few years. Difficult and strenuous pregnancies left her very tired to care for her husband and home. Then she found out her husband wants a divorce – He’s found another woman who he wants to be with and has already defiled the marriage relationship by sinfully acting upon his feelings for this other woman. Stunned and angry, she agrees to the divorce. A year later she is raising her 3 children alone and her mother passes away. Evelyn is in despair and feels no one at church can really understand what she is going through. She has tried to read her Bible because she has been told that God’s Word can help, but she isn’t finding any answers.

*What are some things Evelyn might be missing in her walk with God?

*If Evelyn is your friend, how can you “be there” for her to encourage her from God’s Word through these difficult days?

*What are some practical ways the church can rally behind Evelyn to encourage her with her physical needs (caring for children, working full time, time to rest, ect…)?
